Heffs

Why not (78627). Why not is probably the first pattern with heffs for most passers. It is a widely known 6-club pattern, with lots of videos and good video tutorials. Many passers fudge the timing with a fast zip (like in Jim’s patterns) and juggle it synchronously. The most common and easiest to learn start is to have passer B start with two clubs and react to the first pass with heff-zip-pass-self-pass.

There is also a 5-club version (78622) and the similar pattern not why (72867).

French three-count (786). A very common 7-club pattern and a great foundation for many harder siteswaps.

Funky bookends (77786). Another common, well-known pattern.

Five-count popcorn with heffs (78686). While the original popcorn patterns arguably have trelfs in them, this is a common easier version.

Notice that French three-count (786), five-count popcorn (78686), and seven-count popcorn (7868686) all follow a common idea.

Vitoria (7778686). Essentially a combination of funky bookends and popcorn, named after the city Vitoria-Gasteiz where EJC was held in 2009.

Other similar patterns to try. not why (72867), maybe (72786), Mojito (8677777), seven-count popcorn (7868686), seven-count popcorn variation (7888882).
